Here's a piccy of a new plane I've made up. One day I was scribbling away on my notepad while waiting for the computer to do something and came up with the design.

It's a small personal jet (seating for one), maybe somewhere around 350 - 400 kts cruise speed, really light (carbon fibre?) , 3 glass displays for engine, GPS and instruments and completely fictional. Lots of nice buttons to push and knobs to tweak though.

I've just finished adding the nav, strobe and landing light (which is a nice Lotus style landing light and swivels with the nose wheel).

As I continue development I will post some more pics here.

You're my new best friend . This is what (IMO) is missing in FSX .Concept, fictional aircraft . I just wish more VTOL concept, fictional aircraft was developed .
 
:icon_lol: Ants , quiet a whiles back i saw a twin engine ... 8 to 10 seat type tho .. It was painted in its 'Blue print' now lets hope your not going to do the same here :173go1:
 
What are you implying there Ian?

That my little baby might never see the light of day?

Exterior is pretty much done (only a beacon light to add) and the VC is coming along nicely now. I've come to far not to finish. Mind you, if anyone was interested in helping with the Flight Dynamics I wouldn't say no.

Oryginal, manufactured Blue Prints - "first class", very accurate! ;)
Thx Anthony!

Is it an answer for Icon A5 (in M.Flight)? ; )
 
Hi Anthony, nice little project you got here.....cool!!

I can help you out with the flight dynamics.

Cheers,
Hank

Hi Hank

That would be great, I've done some work on a few things (like filling out the aircraft.cfg data) and it least it gets off the ground but I haven't really done more than that yet. If you email me at my email address on this page: http://www.antsairplanes.com/contact.html I can send you a copy of the aircraft as it is at the moment (ie half finished) which you can fiddle about with if you like.
 
Had a productive couple of days and managed to texture up the cockpit. Originally I had a cloth seat but it looked a bit too cheap so replaced it with a leather one. Don't you just hate it when you have to spend two hours retexturing something you've already done? Oh well, the results are hopefully worth it.

I'm sorry about the retexturing, but isn't the luxury of leather worth it? It looks nice and comfy. Smashing work so far!
 
Sweet...but where's the cup holder?

Some of my favorites in FS9 have been concept aircraft; this one looks very sharp and I'm looking forward to it.
